The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) includes three phases, each prone to different interferences. Due to many disadvantages of the reference Westergren method, modified and alternate methods have been introduced. The aim of this study was to compare the modified Westergren method on SRS 100/II analyzer in citrate blood with the alternate method on iSED® analyzer in EDTA sample. Additionally, possible interfering factors and ESR stability during 6 h at room temperature were evaluated.
